Hey guys. I recently opened a fabrication company and the shop I took over had this forklift someone stopped putting back together. My brother is a heavy duty mechanic but he hasn’t shown up to take a look. I’m looking at this and the amount of bolts vs bolt holes don’t seems to make sense. Any chance anyone can give me some direction as to the way this gets put back together

This is all of the oil I managed to get out of a K25 engine

Operator complaint was “unit feels slow, only goes 6 mph” when they should go 8-9. Hopped on it and immediately oil pressure light went off when I would get on the brakes. Dipstick was bone dry. Drained the oil and viola lol. New filter, filled her up and runs right as rain again.. These nissan K engines are fuckin indestructible.

Now only if we could get this customer to sign a PM contract so they can get oil changes BEFORE it gets to this point 😂

I don't know the year of this machine as there are no serial numbers remaining that I can find. But I replaced brake master and wheel cylinders. Trying to bleed the brake system but can't get fluid past this part. Wondering if can remove or bypass this part? Any input would be great!

Is this where the hydraulic oil goes

Battery measures 50volt but completely dead

I have what I believe is a 1967 Clark CFY50B forklift that my father purchased used back in 1976. It has a busted bellcrank and spider arm that we have repaired in the past but will no longer hold a weld. I have tried to find replacement parts but to no avail.

I've reached out to several places locally to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing the unit for parts as it still runs well other than the steering issues. I hate to just scrap it when someone at some point may be in a similar situation and the parts from my unit could help them out.

This is my last ditch effort to see if anyone knows a place that may be interested in this unit for parts. I am located in Michigan.

Hello all, our toyota forklift at work keeps cutting out after its been revved. It will idle fine and all, but as soon as you give it some rev it dies. Dies after 3rd rev in video. Weve had multiple local forklift mechanics look at, one changed the carb out, and the problems still persisted. Also, multiple mechanics have messed with the idle on the carb aswell.

Have a customer that has this lift, the inner mast sheave broke off and trashed a bunch of hoses and a manifold before it wedges itself between the inner and outer masts. Engine has a coolant leak, all the hydraulic oil has leaked out, so it has no functions. Customer wants to get rid of it and replace with an electric lift. Is this worth repairing? Is this a "mechanics special" I should scoop up? Any tips, tricks, secrets I should know about this thing? What would you give for it, in this condition?

Customer stated driver/operator used starter fluid to start unit to complete job

Front hrs steer arm damaged normal and time 4 hrs in/ out smooth but not on this episode of F%#*k me Friday it was hot/humid too and with the torch going
Side note: unit was a transfer from another district /front steer cylinder rod pin broke (was told it was welded 2x prior by 3rd party company & I personally would of welded it a 3x with a new cylinder rod end coupler but I didn’t write up this estimate always fun when you find out you have a big repair when you come home the previous Friday and there’s a solid 116 lb steer arm sitting on your eBay delivery plastic box ( thanks fedex ) but I digress
parts out it’s Saturday afternoon my laziness is wearing off and now I get to work on my personal truck 👍🏾👍🏾
too the weekend fellow techs 🍺
